Diethyl 2-hydroxyfumarate CAS 98790-56-8

Description

The occurrence of Diethyl 2-hydroxyfumarate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Diethyl 2-hydroxyfumarate (CAS 98790-56-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H12O5, MW 188.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Diethyl 2-hydroxyfumarate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures Diethyl 2-hydroxyfumarate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
